Abstract

Systems and methods for estimating surface of fracture per volume of rock are provided. The systems include a logging tool, such as a resistivity tool, for generating a borehole image representative of segments of fractures in one or more planes and a processor for estimating surface of fracture per volume of rock (P32) from the segments without the need for defining the one or more planes bearing the segments. The methods include using a downhole logging tool, such as a resistivity tool, to collect data corresponding to segments of fractures in one or more planes, and estimating surface of fracture per volume of rock (P32) by reconstructing theoretical elliptical fractures from the segment data, calculating length of fracture segment per surface of borehole (P21) for the theoretical elliptical fractures, and deriving P32 from P21.
